Mission Statement St. Peter's Lutheran School follows Christ's command to Feed My Lambs through a challenging and well-rounded education centered on God's Word. Confirmation Verses Sunday, May 1, was a very special day for many of our 8th graders - Confirmation. This was a day in which the 8th graders publicly confessed their Christian faith. Each one has a special Bible verse for this special day and we honor them by sharing their verses. May God continue to bless each one of them!

Isaiah 43:1 Chris Meyer - Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

2 Maria Stansbury - Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Thanksgiving that Miss Heather Volmerding has accepted her Call to be our Sixth Grade Teacher next fall. Mr. B Accepts Call to Wyneken Dear Members of St. Peter's Lutheran Church and School, I am very thankful for the opportunity to have served in ministry at St. Peter's since I have been fortunate to serve as teacher and as principal. I pray that my service here has been as much a blessing to St. Peter's as it has blessed me. On May 4 I received a Divine Call from Wyneken Memorial Lutheran School Association to serve as their principal. For the past 2 weeks I have prayerfully considered my current Call to St. Peter's and this new Call to Wyneken. I am writing this to share that I have been led by the Holy Spirit to accept the Call to serve Wyneken as their principal. Again I thank the members of St. Peter's for the opportunity to serve for the past 14 years and I ask God to continue to bless St. Peter's Church and School.
